What is Youth Athlete of the Year?
Learn MoreHe loves the opportunity to compete, lead, and encourage his teammates. Playing quarterback allows him to serve others by putting the team first, celebrating everyone’s success, and lifting others up during difficult moments. He enjoys the challenge of improving every day and believes football teaches discipline, accountability, teamwork, and perseverance lessons that will benefit him far beyond the game.
His biggest inspiration is Jesus Christ because He demonstrated humility, servant leadership, integrity, and love for others. He also looks up to his coaches and parents, who teach him that true success is measured by character, hard work, and faith. They remind him that being a great athlete begins with being a great person, teammate, student.
The proudest moment isn’t a touchdown or a win it’s watching him consistently lead his teammates in prayer before games. Seeing him confidently put God first, encourage others, and use his platform to inspire his teammates shows maturity beyond his years. His leadership, humility, and commitment to doing what’s right make us proud every time he steps onto the field, regardless of the scoreboard.
